This is a big time family favorite! This is my mom's recipe and it was inspired by the lava cakes from The Chart House, but I think my mom's are way better!!! It is a rich, dense chocolate cake but the center is still gooey and liquidy! This decadent dessert is to die for!!!
HOW TO CREATE THESE DELICIOUS GEMS:This recipe makes about 8 servings, depending on the size of the ramekins.
2 cubes of butter
8 ounces of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
4 ounces milk chocolate
4 Tbsp heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
4 Tbsp powdered sugar
~Melt the above ingredients together stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
In a bowl whisk together:
4 eggs
4 additional egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 pinches salt
~Beat until thick ribbons form (about 4-5 minutes)
Sift 4 Tbsp flour into the egg mixture and fold in.
~Then fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
~Put the batter into the ramekins and place them on a cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes until the sides are set and the middle is soft but peaked.
(Every oven is different and you don't want to overcook them. So set it for a few minutes under and then just keep checking!)
~Top with vanilla ice cream and berries or topping of your choice! Enjoy!
You know they are done when they are cracked on top! Tell me those don't look good!
Mitchy is less than thrilled that I started this blog...he hates posing for pictures! Can you tell?
hi linds. so i'm making these for ethan's birthday dinner (since he LOVED then when you brought them to Jaryn's mom's) and I have a few questions...how many does your recipe make, and for the cream, do you use heavy whipping cream?
